David R Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 I noticed hollywood had a few of these for sale [well they'd already sold] last time I was there. Does anyone know much about them, or does anyone on here have one? I tried to persuade them to give me one but they wouldnt. They also had a few albino ones, but IMO they'd look pretty ugly when they get bigger... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachy Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 Hey i have an albino bichir, bought from hollywood from the same tank as the ones you have seen, i would have liked to get an ornate bichir but as you said they were all sold. My a/bichir is great and trust me they look better when they get bigger,mine has grown heaps, and faster than the ones at h/wood,huge difference, maybe its the ox heart ive been feeding him. Albino bichir tend to be more active than ornate ones, mine swimms around like crazy, and i dont think they grow as big either. I will try to get an ornate bichir later when i get a bigger tank cause they do look cool. I totaly recommend getting one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted February 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 How long have you had it and how fast is it growing? Any pics? What size tank, tankmates etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachy Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Ive had mine since boxing day, he is about 6inch already, so he is growing fast,if the ones you saw were from hollywood mt roskil he is from the same tank,he has left them at a stand still. I'm keeping him with a bornio tiger around 3inch, an albino plec about 2inch and an angelicus synodontis about 4.5inch. My tank is 260 ltrs wich is going to be to small but i am going to upgrade at some stage, i am going to get my bro's digi soon at take some picks. From my research i have found that a/bichir tend to be short and fat rather than longer, i was trying to find out if there are short body and long body variety but havent had any luck, yet, i guess i will find out though the rate this guy is growing.cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
